Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall~
Here’s the arrival of our second seasonal event… YES.. the dreaded event where you’re force to run Maranda Coast or Dwarfs’ Forge over and over again. However, this time, we should be running Snowy Woods or Magic Library.
Period: 4/6 to 4/20
Event Concept
The main idea for this event is to run Explorations or Story mode stages to collect Metal Eggs. Metal Eggs are used as Gacha currencies to acquire Crafting Mats and other rewards.

| Base | Steal | Total | Per Energy | |
| Snow Plains | 2344 | 1074 | 3418 | 569.6666667 |

Explorations:
For newer players, the rule of thumb is to run the best exploration map that you can handle (even when you’re half asleep).
Due to the large amount of data, I’m not listing all the exploration stages except the latest few. I hope you guys can help me fill in the blanks for some of the figures below.

Most of these items are mediocre. However, based on the past few events, try to get those with Elemental Resistance first (Icy Veins).

Ran a full clear on Snowy Woods. Got 4786 metal eggs (with Locke stealing it was 11895). 0 red eggs, 0 blue eggs, 0 rainbow eggs. For the NRG cost, number of collection points, and number of eggs collected, it seems like the most efficient.
2nd Snowy Woods (8 NRG) run got me 4463 and 3386. I’m assuming the first number is drops and the 2nd is steals. I only looked at the first number of metal eggs in my first post. I could have mixed them up.
Fire Shrine (11 NRG) full clear, 6836 metal eggs, 0 red egg, 0 blue egg, 0 rainbow egg. No steal.
with 2 zidanes (steal every encounter) i got like 10k.
Multiple Fire Shrine full clear, 9.5-10.5k eggs, 0 other eggs. Locke with steals
Ghost Ship Exploration – 10-12k with steal
If you don’t want to bother with Stealing extra metal eggs for whatever reason, and you don’t want to deplete exploration maps (i.e., if you have a decently high rank, but not a huge amount of time to play), I highly recommend Magic Library – Showdown of Destiny. 10 energy, 2 battles, 3,895 eggs per run. Granted, if you aren’t running a full 6-star team, those 2 fights can be rough (pretty solid AOE damage in both), but I figure most people have all 6-stars on their main team by the time they reach the end of story progression to date, and either way, still – it’s 10 energy and a few minutes of fighting for almost 4,000 eggs a pop.
In library exploration i got 7044 eggs from stealing and 8127 from drops.
No explorations: Run ‘Snow Plains – Beast on the Plains’
6 NRG 2.1k metal eggs to 5k metal eggs.
Bear boss’ have no status resistance – so bring status effect units (ling/noctis/seven/exd, ect)
Zoldaad Castle Grounds Exploration (13NRG): Full steals, clearing all enemies 13k-17k Metal eggs (plus Fire megacrysts and Orange Megacite from resource points)
Ghost ship expl.(14NRG) 6 runs = 6666//5605//5689//4122//3715//6245
Water Shrine expl.(15NRG) 7 runs = 7923//6454//5821//4918//5602//5259//5945
No steal, just Locke’s lb.
Where can we find the mysterious merchant
You get Rainbow, Red and Blue Eggs, on the Summon Unit Screen (Home Screen), when you spend the Metal Egg points you’ve collected!!!
Invincible Interior exploration is the best spot 15k-20k eggs per run with Vox’s early
Xon’s waylay Damn autocorrect
If you’re not a whale, I recommend at least pulling daily until you get 3 or 4 Aidens and maybe a Xon or two.
Trust mogs you get from event summons pretty much ensures that you get free TMs from those units. Would be sweet to get Fryevia for that sword TM too, if you’re super lucky.
Been pulling for that dang thief and ended up pulling a Fryevia. Got lucky. (I think. I don’t know too much about her other than that she’s hybrid ice damage) Any idea how to equip her? Semi ftp. (Get occasional gift cards.) Already got her tm from the dang egg summons!
And still no thief!
Forget explorations and go mysidia first boss, 6nrg and quaranteed 3k for every run, you get your stuff a lot faster.. Done around 100 runs there and already got Fryevias TM and all equipment crafted, highly recommended without wasting time in explorations
What area are you talking about?
I Just Realize something, when this event started i haven’t unlock Dirnado continent, I still in Golzas Wharf, but when I start progressing during the event the Eggs that i collected is fewer than Golzas territory (Like 3800 in Maranda Coast but 5600 in Golzas Canyon).
Maybe my last area before event is affecting the drop ?
